What is your favorite budget audio component?


Just wondering for the sake of curiosity and general sharing and education among audiophiles, “What is your favorite budget audio component?” And as a bonus, “Why do you consider it budget and why is it good?” 
Since budget might be relative, I would say audio gear like MBL, Wilson MAXX speakers or anything ultra high end should not be considered.

My, my, Liz....aren't we testy today.  Seems that with your seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-five posts here, you would be a little more accommodating.

Take a breath and feel good that your A/V AC plugs are an airtight connection.  Ha!  Wonder who made that one up?
